Rocky is a big, goofy sweet heart . He’s a gangly 13 month old, who sometimes has the coordination of a puppy. It’s like he’s still getting used to these very long legs that grew on his body and sometimes they don’t all seem to wanna go in the same direction.
Rocky loves to play. He loves toys - chewing them up and playing tug of war. He loves to wrestle with our resident dog. They play frequently throughout the day and wear each other out. I think Rocky would do well in a house with another medium-large dog. He might be too much for a small dog.
Rocky has not been around children while in our care. He would probably do best with older children who can handle his large size.
Rocky walks well on a leash, but will occasionally attempt to chase after a squirrel or pull hard when he’s on the scent of some critter. He is learning how to go potty while on walks, but that part is a work in progress yet.
Rocky arrived, not knowing his name or any commands. In a week’s time, he responds to his name, has learned sit, both verbal and hand signal, is working on wait at the door, kennel up, touch, and lie down. He’s a quick learner and will thrive with someone who can keep up his training
Rocky is still working on house training. He’s making great progress with a regular schedule and routine each time we take him out. He’s on his 3rd day with no accidents!
Rocky sleeps all night in a kennel in our bedroom. He freely goes in his own kennel downstairs to take a nap. We do kennel him occasionally in the day, but not for more than two hours at a time if we are home. We have not left him alone for more than four hours. When we are gone he has either been in his kennel or confined to our kitchen with our resident dog.
Rocky is a gentle soul in a big body. He’ll thrive with a family who can continue his training and provide plenty of exercise and play time. He’s intelligent, friendly, and a silly goof. He has lots of love to give to his future family.
